Biology

KatRina [158]3 years ago

Membranes are held together by hydrophobic interactions

Proteins and lipids can move around laterally on one layer but rarely flip to the other side

Some move along the cytoskeleton fibers

Membrane remains fluid as temperature decreases until the phospholipids settle into a closely packed arrangement

Membrane remains fluid longer if there are more phospholipids with unsaturated hydrocarbon tails

Separated more because of the kinks in the tails

Cholesterol

At higher temperatures, it makes the membrane less fluid

Restrains phospholipid movement

Lowers the temperature required for membranes to solidify because they are packed less tightly

Temperature buffer

All of the following statements about enzymes are true EXCEPT
kari74 [83]

Answer:

(D) Enzymes can function only within living cells.

Explanation:

<em>Enzymes are biological molecules that are proteinous in nature and speed up the rate of biological reactions.</em>

Option A is true because enzymes are not used up or changed when they are used to catalyze reactions

Option B is true. Enzymes are very specific with regards to the reactions they take part in.

Option C is true. Some enzymes contain non-protein component that assist them in their functioning. These non-protein components are called co-factors.

Option E is true. Because enzymes are proteinous in nature, they can be destroyed/denatured by high temperatures.

<em>The only untrue option is D. Some enzymes can function outside living cells. For example, the enzymes involved in digestion can function not just within living cells but also outside it. The functions of some of the digestive enzymes can be demonstrated in the laboratory.</em>

The correct option is D.
